an amendment charging the amounts

Shooting a Gas Wen.

A Kokomo Qnd. letter describes the
operation known rs shooting gas well.
Says the correspondent: A large crowL
had gathered at the gas well, watching
every movement with an interest born of
curiosity that brooks all danger to satisfy
itself in the minutcst detail. The biz
drill was Withdrawn and fastened at the
point to the casing head. Lashcd to it
was strong steel pulley, through which
ran light line, extending from an iron
reel made fast 10 the arm Of the great
walking beam and terminating in an iron
hook. To this hook was attached n
large tin vessel resembling in shape a
monster syringe. Hero began the most
dangerous part of the work, ana the
spectators were warned to leave the
ground. The cans were brought into
the derrick and thirty-two quarts of the
terrible explosive, formed by treating
glyccrinc with concentrated sulphurc
and nitric acids, were carefully poured
into the tin torpedo. This was slowly
lowered into the well by aid of the reel,
great care being taken to- sec that it did
not jar violently against the casing and
cause premature explosion. When
the bottom Of the well was
reached the hook was swung loose and
the line drawn out. Callhan then filled
another tin vessel of smaller capacity,
shaped very much like gun cartridge,
and attached it to a decorating fuse.
The glyccrine cans, containing the small
residue of the explosive, were removed
to place OF safety. Cillihan then
entered the derrick with his go devil, :"
coolly lighted the fuse from his cigar,
dropped IL in the well and slowly walked
q few rods away. Every body held their
breath and waited. A minute passed.
two--thrcc. inexperienced persons
thought the shot had ia led, and
approached nearer the well. Presently
there was dull thud, much like strik-
ing meal bag with ones closed fist.
There was a slight trcmor Of the earth,
barely pcrccptiblc TO those nearest the
well. Then followed another wait Of
fifteen seconds, when great volume Of
black colorcd water shot up, up away
over the derrick bundled feet in all,
falling with great shower Of stones
and drenching the more venturcsome
spectators who rushed toward the well.
The effect Of the shot was at once dis
ccrnablc. Tho we'll was good one
before, but tho deep, sullen roar from
the fivc-and five ighths-inch casting
announced n find perhaps exceeding in
volume any we'll yet drilled in tho Ko-
komo field. When the union was rus
On and connection with two-inch pipe
made, tho roar increased to boarso
scream, almost drowning the mighty
shout that went up when tho gas was
lighted, throwing out fame nearly to
tho top Of the derrick.

Watches Without Hands.

The construction Of watches withoul
hands has lately attracted some attcl.
tion, the usual hands being replaced by
figures dcnoting the hour and minute
which appear at openings in the dial
plate; the mechanism is simplc. and
only few more parts are required than
in an ordinary watch. Two wheels are
used to denote tho minutes one. which
moves forward once i'm minute. being
gearcd to second one, marked with the
ten minute figures, and every ten minute,
tooth on tho first wheel engages with
tho teeth on the second, moving il for.
ward one figure, Thus, every minute of
the hour is shown on the face of the
watci, and, Mt its completion. both
minute wheels show two ciphcrs. and
arc ready TO begin tho round again: tho
hour Is shown on separate wheel. and
an ordinary hand indicates tho seconds
OF tho advantages OF this kind Of watch
it is remarked that few people read tho
time Of nm ordinary watch accuratolv.
and, if the experiment is tried Of rlane-
ing at the face in the usual manner. and
then naming the time, it will b, found
that an error Of from half minute TO
three minutes will b. generally made
With the new watch, it IL claimed. no
error can possibly occur, and there is
the added advantage that, at tho cnd Of
every minute, an audible click is sounded
as tho number changes, by which ono
can measure short intervals Of time,
even at night.
